Each of the proposals were reviewed and scored separately by a panel of three City staff members. The individual scores were then compared and averaged to determine ranking. The scoringwas not an easy task as all firms were well qualified and provided excellent proposals. In scoring the propOsals. emphasis was placed on a quick response to anticipated City needs which included knowledge of the City's rules and procedures and a willingness to place the City's demands as a priority. Firms that regularly submitted land division plans and demonstrated knowledge of City plat submittal and approval requirements general received a slightly higher score in the Project Team category. In assigning a value to the cost of services, the lowest cost received the full 10 points while the highest cost received 3 points and all others were scored according to their ranking. The results of the scoring are as follows: Rankin 1 2 3, 4 5 6 7 8 Firm Number of Points 89.0 87.7 84.7 82.0 80.7 79.3 77.0 72.3 Based upon the above scores. the City intends to offer contracts to the first and second ranked firms as primary and secondary service providers.
